Gauge: 16 sts / 24 rows = 4" / 10 cm in stockinette,
after blocking; correct gauge is not critical for this
project, but your final measurements and yardage
requirements may vary if your gauge is different

Needles: 32” / 80 cm US 7 / 4.50 mm circular needle

42 6/0 4.0mm beads (optional)

The beads are added via the crochet-hook-as-as-you-go method which means you will need a very thin crochet hook, around size 14 / 0.75mm (small enough to fit through holes of beads).
